Awards Insider Podcast

At the Shoalhaven Business Chamber we are extremely focused on creating an Awards program that our business community is proud to be associated with. And we genuinely want businesses to create outstanding entries that wow our judges.

This is why we’ve created Awards Insider, the podcast series for business owners who truly want to stay out from the crowd. Our show is an exciting new initiative that focuses on giving businesses all the best tips to create a standout entry. Sponsored by TAFE NSW, Awards Insider will run for 9 episodes during the Awards entry period.

Recorded locally in the HEV Studio, and featuring a range of local and national guests who have won, judged or supported business awards programs, show hosts Chance Hanlon and Miranda Packer uncover a wealth of information that is guaranteed to improve your entry.
